The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

hereby enacts as follows:

Section 1. Section 1723-A.1 of the act of April 9, 1929

(P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, amended July 10,

2014 (P.L.1053, No.126), is amended to read:

Section 1723-A.1. Distributions from Pennsylvania Race Horse

Development Fund.

Funds in the fund are appropriated to the department on a

continuing basis for the purposes set forth in this subsection

and shall be distributed to each active and operating Category 1

licensee conducting live racing as follows:

(1) An amount equal to 18% of the daily gross terminal

revenue of each Category 1 licensee shall be distributed to

each active and operating Category 1 licensee conducting live

racing unless the daily assessments are affected by the daily

assessment cap provided for in 4 Pa.C.S. § 1405(c) (relating

to Pennsylvania Race Horse Development Fund). In cases in

which the daily assessment cap affects daily assessments, the

distribution to each active and operating Category 1 licensee

conducting live racing for that day shall be a percentage of

the total daily assessments paid into the fund for that day

equal to the gross terminal revenue of each active and

operating Category 1 licensee conducting live racing for that

day divided by the total gross terminal revenue of all active

and operating Category 1 licensees conducting live racing for

that day. Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (2.1), the

distributions to licensed racing entities from the fund shall

be allocated as follows:

(i) Eighty percent shall be deposited weekly into a

20160HB1589PN3086 - 3 -

<--

separate, interest-bearing purse account to be

established by and for the benefit of the horsemen. The

earned interest on the account shall be credited to the

purse account. Licensees shall combine these funds with

revenues from existing purse agreements to fund purses

for live races consistent with those agreements with the

advice and consent of the horsemen.

(ii) For thoroughbred tracks, 16% shall be deposited

on a monthly basis into the Pennsylvania Breeding Fund as

defined in section 223 of the Race Horse Industry Reform

Act. For standardbred tracks, 8% shall be deposited on a

defined in section 224 of the Race Horse Industry Reform

Act, and 8% shall be deposited on a monthly basis into a

restricted account in the State Racing Fund to be known

as the Pennsylvania Standardbred Breeders Development

Fund. The State Harness Racing Commission shall, in

consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, by rule

or by regulation, adopt a standardbred breeders program

that will include the administration of the Pennsylvania

Stallion Award, the Pennsylvania Bred Award and the

Pennsylvania Sired and Bred Award.

(iii) Four percent shall be used to fund health and

pension benefits for the members of the horsemen's

organizations representing the owners and trainers at the

racetrack at which the licensed racing entity operates

for the benefit of the organization's members, their

families, employees and others in accordance with the

rules and eligibility requirements of the organization,

as approved by the State Horse Racing Commission or the

20160HB1589PN3086 - 4 -

State Harness Racing Commission. This amount shall be

deposited within five business days of the end of each

month into a separate account to be established by each

respective horsemen's organization at a banking

institution of its choice. Of this amount, $250,000 shall

be paid annually by the horsemen's organization to the

thoroughbred jockeys or standardbred drivers organization

at the racetrack at which the licensed racing entity

operates for health insurance, life insurance or other

benefits to active and disabled thoroughbred jockeys or

standardbred drivers in accordance with the rules and

eligibility requirements of that organization.

follows:

(i) For fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, each

week, $802,682 in the fund shall be transferred to the

SECTION 1. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FINDS AND DECLARES AS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET.

(2) THE CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA CONFERS NUMEROUS

EXPRESS DUTIES UPON THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, INCLUDING THE

PASSAGE OF A BALANCED BUDGET FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.

(3) SECTION 24 OF ARTICLE III OF THE CONSTITUTION OF

PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT ALL

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF GOVERNMENT IN THE

COMMONWEALTH, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SOURCE. THE SUPREME COURT

HAS REPEATEDLY AFFIRMED THAT, "IT IS FUNDAMENTAL WITHIN

PENNSYLVANIA'S TRIPARTITE SYSTEM THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

NECESSARY FOR THEIR OPERATION."

CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS

IMPLEMENTATION OF STATUTES WHICH IMPACT REVENUE MAY BE

REQUIRED TO DISCHARGE THIS CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION.

APPROPRIATIONS ACT, THE ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A

COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET INVOLVES MORE THAN SUBJECTS OF

APPROPRIATIONS AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS. ULTIMATELY, THE BUDGET HAS

TO BE BALANCED UNDER SECTION 13 OF ARTICLE VIII OF THE

CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA. THIS MAY NECESSITATE CHANGES TO

SOURCES OF FUNDING AND ENACTMENT OF STATUTES TO ACHIEVE FULL

COMPLIANCE WITH THESE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS.

(6) FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPHS (1), (2),

(3), (4) AND (5), IT IS THE INTENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

THROUGH THIS ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET.

THE 2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET WITHOUT SPECIFICALLY

APPROPRIATING PUBLIC MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND. THIS ACT

PROVIDES ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SPENDING AND MAKES TRANSFERS OR

OTHER CHANGES NECESSARY TO IMPACT THE AVAILABILITY OF REVENUE
